    Great tilt-shift video that has been around for a while, but so good it deservers another look. (via The Awl)

    Beautiful technique.

    “I’m not sure what to the call the effect in this video — timelapse stop-motion? panorama time-stitch? — but I haven’t seen its like before.” via kottke

    This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Check out this ridiculous violent and amazingly insane intro video for an Alaskan College Hockey Team.

    This is most violent polar bear I’ve ever seen.

    I got no money, got no credit, no piece of mind. I got no answers for the things that you’re trying to find.

    Open up your eyes, we can synthesize. You just got to know…Girl its all fake gold. Its fake gold. You’re out of your mind. Watch it shine.

    Great photo series on The Morning News but I couldn’t disagree more with this being depressing. In fact I think its kind of exhilarating. It feels like nature doing away with something unnecessary and personally I think represent the best of what has come out of our most recent recession. It happens to me every year.  As Christmas approaches and retailer reports reach a fever pitch, I undertake a yearly analysis of corporate culture and seek out the writings with opposing viewpoints.  This year its been revisiting videos like the Story of Stuff and their new one on Cap & Trade and finishing Life Inc. As far back as I can remember, I have always hated shopping malls.  I find them to be soulless and lonely. In his book Douglas Rushkoff recounts the history of malls and the creation of “atmospherics”, the science of manipulating shoppers to buy more. Hopefully the loss of these palaces to consumerism will mean a return to local, connected and meaningful planning for our communities. via brandonnn: Dead malls are among the most depressing things in the world.

    Finally got around to reading the great profile of James Cameron in the New Yorker written by Dana Goodyear.  It lead me to check out the Pace 3D camera site to learn more about Vince Pace and the equipment they designed for Avatar. I couldn’t help but wonder if the designers of hboimagine.com had gone to the site as inspiration after seeing the interface similarity.

    The team from Tangerine posted videos of the panel on digital culture at Saatchi I sat on a couple weeks ago. It was a thoughtful conversation with some good points made throughout all the videos. This particular video is a discussion around “staying ahead of the curve” and you can see the others on YouTube.

    Hung out with Colin from Attention and Hugh from OMGICU last night and the great conversation turned to Augmented Reality for a moment.  Googled it this morning and this was one of the video results.  This is a great use of it; whimsical and entertaining.

    Seems well positioned to take advantage of the stat from Andy Bateman, President of Interbrand’s, talk tonight at the Soho House where he stated that video initiations have passed Google searches in volume.  Or something like that (editor’s note…not sure where he got that stat from). via jamiew: This morning we publicly launched Mag.ma! Go forth and watch videos Some press coverage: Mashable, TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, and of course the always vocal twittersphere

    Great song.  Who is it?  The RED camera at 120 fps is perfect for skate videos.
